Benefits of technology

The patent describes a method and system for analyzing data collected from electrical devices. The system collects data from multiple devices and uses algorithms to compare and analyze the data. This analysis can help identify patterns and potential issues with the devices. The system can also transmit the analysis results to a monitoring system, allowing for real-time monitoring and maintenance of electrical devices. The technical effects of this patent include improved monitoring and analysis of electrical devices, as well as improved operational efficiency and reliability.

Problems solved by technology

Although partial discharge analysis has been used for many years on various electrical equipment, at least some data collections and data interpretations are performed substantially manually using labor-intensive techniques.
Such extensive analysis typically requires obtaining subject matter experts in the form of highly specialized industry professionals which can be time-consuming and expensive.
Moreover, such analyses are neither automated nor substantially close to a present time.

Embodiment Construction

[0024]FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of an exemplary on-line, real-time partial discharge (PD) analyzer system 100. In the exemplary embodiment, PD pulses are recorded using analyzer system 100, which is configured to receive PD pulses with frequencies within a bandwidth that includes an upper limit of approximately 100 MHz. Alternatively, system 100 is configured to receive PD pulses within any frequency range. Analyzer system 100 includes a data analysis and diagnostics module 102, a model / rules module 104, and an output module 106, wherein both modules 104 and 106 are coupled in electronic data communication with module 102. In the exemplary embodiment, modules 102, 104 and 106 are configured within a first processor 107. Alternatively, modules 102, 104 and 106 are configured within a plurality of processors (not shown). System 100 also includes a data history logger module 108 coupled in electronic data communication with module 102. In the exemplary embodiment, logger modu...

Abstract

A method of analyzing partial discharge data collected from an electrical device includes collecting partial discharge data from a first electrical device belonging to a group of electrical devices. The group of electrical devices is at least partially defined by at least one electrical device classification. The method also includes generating a comparison of at least a portion of the partial discharge data collected from the first electrical device with at least a portion of the partial discharge data collected from at least one second electrical device. The at least one second electrical device is selected from the group of electrical devices that includes the first electrical device. The method further includes transmitting the results.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates generally to electrical device condition assessment analyzers and more particularly, to methods and analysis systems for assessing partial discharge (PD) in electrical machinery.[0002]Partial discharge events in an insulation system are pulsed releases of energy that propagate out from their site of origin. The propagation occurs according to the structure surrounding the partial discharge events. An internally generated partial discharge pulse appears and propagates at the end regions of an electrical device, such as a high or low voltage bushing and generator end windings, as specific pulse waves in accordance with the surrounding structure, the location of the origin of the pulse, and the pulse characteristics. Although partial discharge analysis has been used for many years on various electrical equipment, at least some data collections and data interpretations are performed substantially manually using labor-intensive tech...
